Model Fighter

Fukd id#7

Label: Chemikal Underground Release Date: 02/06/2003

mharflett by Melissa Harflett June 6th, 2003

This is bizarre, very bizarre, likeable yet at the same time a bit grating. Model Fighter is one man, Daniel and some sounds, some of which are normal like keyboards and guitars, others that are a bit stranger; toy music machines and looped sounds. He keeps to 60 or 120 bpm and uses anything that makes a noise but no computers!

'Blipdat', is nearly two minutes of high pitched, slightly squeaky notes. Half way through appears a sound like a door bell…good but in an odd way. 'Sleepatronic' is a bit dancier, keyboard drum beats and a sound like something you’d get off those keyboards with 200 different noises on them. 'Metallic Rutland' and 'untitled (Horse Giant)' are darker, slightly haunting and different.

File under electronic Mogwai or use as a soundtrack to an arty film.
